An innovative and renowned Japanese Buddhist master, Shinjo Ito (1906–89) believed that the Buddha's enlightenment was a realizable goal for all human beings. For Shinjo, all experiences, whether positive or painful, were opportunities to cultivate the wisdom needed to live rich and satisfying lives. This book is a collection of thoughts, principles, and truths drawn from Shinjo's insight and experience. They offer not only a glimpse into the mind of a deeply awakened master, but also a practical set of teachings on how to turn daily challenges into a path of self-discovery and enlightenment.
